This is the only morning of the year that I photograph the little ladies with their hair looking like head bangers. Taylor ran straight from her pillow to the stocking and looks like a wild child!

The BLUE GUITAR was on the top of her Santa list!

After she opened her blue guitar she had no interest in unwrapping any of her other gifts. . .so Peyton took control of the situation. Here is Peyton overjoyed to see Taylor received a Handy Manny toy!

Annual tradition. . .as we await the Magical Express bus for the airport, the girls gather around a TV in the lobby and watch some Disney cartoons:Taylor is our aspiring photographer. . .she ALMOST got 100% of us in the picture:

Caribbean Beach Resort lobby Christmas Tree:

On the shuttle at Orlando International Airport:Saint Nicholas Day was the 6th (while we were in Florida) so the girls each left a boot out just in case St. Nick still came to our home. WOW! Look at what he left!!!

The sisters pose just before they begin their final FULL day at Disney:

Taylor is 39.49 inches tall but needed to be 40 inches to ride Splash Mountain. After being rejected a couple days earlier, I was on a quest and put her on my hip and walked into the line without being asked to measure her. Daddy and Peyton assumed we'd wait for them at the Brer Rabbit Play Area at the end of the ride so Daddy was a bit surprised to turn around and see us a few people behind him in line. I held my breath each time a ride attendant would be near a measuring stick. After waiting in a 20-25 minute line, Beth said "I need you over here princess" and guided Taylor to a measuring wall. I though REJECTION was about to occur, until Beth high fived Taylor and said HAVE FUN!

Here I am trying to explain to her the fact that we were going to be soaked just before we entered a tunnel. . .

Peyton was smart enough to wear her poncho for the ride:

Mommy and Little T weathered the storm of Splash Mountain:

Princess Tiana can be seen in theatres nationwide beginning Friday December 11th:

Peter Pan ride was one of Taylor's favorites. We enjoyed it FIVE times, including 3 times this day!
